CAREL: New high-efficiency control solution for CO2 condensing unit at Chillventa

As our preview coverage of new natural refrigerant products at Chillventa 2016 continues, today the spotlight falls on CAREL INDUSTRIES S.p.A., which will be showcasing their new Hecu CO2 – a high-efficiency solution for CO2 condensing units – and theirpRack controllers.

CAREL INDUSTRIES S.p.A. provides control solutions for air-conditioning, refrigeration and heating, and systems for humidification and evaporative cooling. It offers efficient solutions to complex CO2 systems and has this year launched a number of products to enhance the efficiency gains that can be found when switching to CO2.

Hecu Sistema for CO2 condensing unit

For this Chillventa, CAREL have gone into new avenues of the CO2 market by launching Hecu sistema, the brand new control solution for CO2 condensing units.

Hecu is energy efficient and has a good energy classification, thanks in part to its DC inverter technology. Another pillar is the smooth regulation that ensures the best quality in food preservation.

“The Hecu sistema solution is a decisive milestone in the new generation of CO2 condensing units, guaranteeing better energy performance and high reliability in a simple and compact solution,” says Giovanni Tonin, CAREL’s Application Specialist in Retail Solutions.

Tonin describes it as, “a technically advanced solution that is compatible with the state-of-the-art in compressor racks, yet features a small number of components that are ready to be integrated with one another. Hecu sistema for CO2 thus represents a compact and competitive solution that perfectly responds to market demands”.

pRack controllers

The pRack controller is all about performance - combining all components with targeted algorithms to maximise system efficiency and monitoring in real time.

The aim is to, “increase efficiency and adaptability of CO2 through advanced system integration based on smart synchronisation with the refrigeration units,” Tonin says.
